The brigade will give you information on what you should do and not do while trekking the gorillas in the jungle, and once the brigade activity is done, you will be grouped into a group of 8 people, and you will be assigned the range guide and then given the gorilla family that you will trek. The gorilla family will be assigned based on your request, especially the level of fitness and possibly the time of the activity that you will have, and after all this, you will start the gorilla trekking activity in the forest.

You might spend from 1 hour to 7 hours depending on the location of the gorilla family that you are tracking, and thus the time spent within the forest will depend on the location of this great gorilla trekking permit, which is extremely interesting.
